Hi Arthur,

Archivemail is the perfect solution. It worked flawlessly on the command line and I now have it set up as a Cron job.

Thanks to everyone who helped me on this, very much appreciated.

Hello,

I don't know if I'm missing something here, but there is a tool made
just for this job (the *nix philosophy - do one thing and do it well -
use the right tool for the job).

That tool is (imho) archivemail - http://archivemail.sourceforge.net/

It can be configured to archive or delete mail over a user-specified age
and it can leave flagged mail or unread mail in place (if that's what
you want).

Look into it and see if it does what you need...

Best regards.
